“Day-to-day, seamless logistics alleviate worry, but a great guide can make or break an experience. Enter fearless, peerless Percy!!! A true patriot and a marvelous storyteller, he explains and enlivens his country’s history with clarity and passion that’s infectious and endearing. He’s also a cheerleader. Terrified to climb Waynapicchu, I repeatedly told him that I couldn’t do it, and each time he said, “Of course you can.” Without his confidence-instilling encouragement I wouldn’t have tried, and I would’ve missed an opportunity to prove something to myself and a highlight of the trip.”
